English term or phrase: Playing your Taylor
"Go kick the ball around with your kid. Play till he's so tired he can barely finish a sentence. All that exercise should have him asleep by 7, and you **playing your Taylor** by 7:02.

"Give your nephew a loan. Tell him he can pay off the debt by tidying the garage. And while he's sorting old magazines all day Saturday, you'll be **playing your Taylor**. You've always been a giver.

Es scheint hier um einen Eigennamen zu gehen, ich kann da aber auch völlig falsch liegen.

Hat jemand diesen Begriff schon einmal gehört/gelesen und kann helfen?

TIA

German translation:und du hast deine Ruhe
Explanation:
Es handelt sich wohl um ein Wortspiel. Taylor ist eine Gitarrenmarke (https://www.taylorguitars.com). Gemeint ist, dass der/die Betroffene Zeit für sich selbst bzw. für ein Hobby hat.
